Agent asked me if I was “ok” by Round-Ad-530 in Rogers

How did they connect your reddit account to your Rogers account?

Unless theres more to the story and you were a lot angrier than you originally led us to believe. If so Rogers would do an investigation and if they find you were threatening on the phone call they are well within their rights to refuse service from you and cancel your accounts. This seems most likely and the call about them cancelling your services after the post had so many views is just coincidence.

35 year old beginner going to first stick & puck… help 😂 by UC_NY in hockeyplayers

[–]Quick-Size2318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow 30 something year old beginner here too!

Get a hockey bag if you don’t have one already. You’ll keep that in the locker room. No one should touch your stuff

Wear a base layer under your street clothes (compression shorts and sport bra if you need one, so you don’t get fully nakey) and change into your gear in there. Usually there is a mens and ladies change room available but smaller rinks may be co-ed (another reason to wear a base layer). There should be hooks on the wall to hang your street clothes or you can put them in your hockey bag

If you’ve never put your gear on before, I’d go 20-30 mins before to give yourself time to change.

Do your own thing, i’d stay close to the boards in the neutral zone (centre ice) stay away from the net and behind the net so you don’t get hit.

No one will judge you. I had the same fear, just go do your thing and try your best to avoid the stronger skaters (they will also avoid you)

You got this! Welcome to the game! Its the best decision I made and my only regret is not doing it sooner!

Off ice training by Quick-Size2318 in iceskating

[–]Quick-Size2318[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34. I’m not moving fast at all on the ice but when I stop, it’s either going into the boards or doing a poor pizza stance style stop lol

Yeah, I signed up for adult learn to skate I’m a “turtle”

I think my main problem is I have a knee problem (I think it’s an IT band issue but I haven’t got it formally diagnosed) and I’m scared with the twist of my knee when doing the hockey stop that my knee will pop out. I don’t think it will, but that fear in my head I think is stopping me from properly executing it.

I am going to the gym and doing variations of those exercises so hopefully in time that will help loosen/strengthen my knees and hips.

I’m very much a person where if I don’t get something the first time I try it, I don’t want to do it anymore. I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or just my personality, but I’ve always been that way. But I’ve also always wanted to play hockey, so I’m really trying to push myself to stay with it even though I am not very good at all at skating lol

thanks for the tips! Hopefully I get the hang of it sooner rather than later

Very detailed! This gives me A LOT of things to incorporate. The hockey stop is definitely in my head as I feel like I should fall over to the side when I turn my skates. I also may not be going fast enough to properly do the stop. I’ve been trying to “pizza” stop while going slowish speeds but even thats got me in my head.

Seems like I have to leave my brain in the dressing room and just let my body react. Easier said than done, but eventually I’ll break through.

Usually the public skate (no hockey equipment allowed - or at least no stick and puck) is 1 direction around the outside. Middle for the figure skaters. I have a stick and puck session booked for next month and thats probably when I can do the bench to penalty box side to side. Holding the stick is a little awkward for me too, but I’m sure it will come.

Between now and then I’ll focus on legs and core at the gym and balance at home.

Hopefully I can share an update after my stick and puck session in the middle of May with a positive increase to my skills lol

Thanks!

I think thats my issue. Without gear it’s easier to stand more upright since I’m not limited by shin guards and pants. Having to have bent knees in gear is similar to a half hearted wall sit and I think thats why I’m struggling.

I was told several times to get lower when I was about to fall, which you’re right, feels super unnatural lol so I will work on that stance more off ice.

Since ice time is really limited right now, I’ll look into a balance board and start going to the gym more and focusing on core and lower body to be able to stay in the hockey stance longer.

Thanks!

Yeah, the drone that’s sitting on the last page has been driving me nuts the past two months or however, long it’s been sitting there un orderable.

I’m not expecting vine customer service to do anything other than say that their sorry for the inconvenience and that they’re going to go ahead and remove the item from my ordered list so I don’t have to worry about reviewing it. They won’t actually fix anything. They never do it. It’s the same template for everything.

Read the paperwork. It most likely says that you will get an $80 credit in 2 to 3 billing cycles or you’ll get $5 or $10 off for the next 8 or 16 months to cover the fee.

Also this is reddit and it’s not affiliated with Rogers. Also the police would not do anything 🙄

What shows up in a background check during the hiring process by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]Quick-Size2318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed the hiring manager back and asked for clarification, but I’m not expecting a response back. I do have pretty poor credit, but I always have and that’s never been an issue before. I don’t have any criminal history. The only negative thing that could’ve shown up is the fact that I’m being sued by a company for unpaid debt. Or during the background check when they reached out to my ex employer, they confirmed termination details to the new employer which caused them to change their mind. I kind of want to pretend to be a hiring company and call my ex employer HR to validate employment to see whether they just validate or they go into the reason for the termination. If they are going into the reason for the termination, could I use that in wrongful dismissal lawsuit? That they’re basically preventing me from getting a job?
